Should I be running my wah into my tuner or tuner into wah?thanks
 
Tuner usually first cause you want a nice clean signal.. however, I've encountered some Wahs that suck tone. so if your tuner has a buffer built in, put it after. Itll help rejuvenate the signal and bring some high-end back into your signal.

Cheers

did a quick looking.. the ST300 is Truebypass.. the ZW Wah is not True Bypass. It may be moddable to True Bypass. Does your budget allow for a buffer ? any other pedals on the board?
 
No problem with the budget for a buffer. I have other pedals but they’re all mounted in a rack drawer and in the effects loop

Are the wah and tuner the only pedals going into the input of the amp?
 
Gig was great. Ran the tuner first and had no issues. I use Emg”s so I think those buffer the signal to begin with? Anyways, thanks for the advice

Sounds great. With EMGs or Active pickups you don't need a buffer at the start of the chain... If you like the tone/sound you're getting now then don't add a buffer anywhere.

If you want to experiment with it then add a buffer to the end of pedal signal chain as the last pedal before the cable that goes to the amp.

Good luck.
